Play It Again Music Group’s label and management entity, Play It Again Entertainment, has promoted Alyssa Ramsey to Manager of Label Services/Day-to-Day. In this new role, Ramsey will oversee label projects and artist development, including A&R, marketing, branding, and release timelines. As part of Play It Again’s management team, Ramsey acts as Day-to-Day manager for Dylan Marlowe and reports to both Cade Price and Dallas Davidson.

“Alyssa Ramsey is always working. She loves our artists and spends every day making sure there are no stones unturned. I truly believe that she wants to make our artists’ dreams come true as much as they do! Alyssa has been instrumental in breaking Dylan Marlowe as an artist and is well on her way to do the same with Tyler Chambers. She’s been an exceptional addition to PIAMG and we are lucky to have her,” says Davidson.

Since first joining Play It Again Music Group in 2021, Ramsey has continued to take on responsibilities and has been an integral part of PIAE’s successes with her prior titles being Creative Assistant and Project Manager.

The Fort Worth, Texas native graduated from The University of Texas at Austin in 2019 with a B.S. in Advertising. Ramsey followed her passion for Texas country artists into the booking industry where she made stops at Red 11 Music in Nashville and Rodeo Austin. She made the official move to Nashville in the fall of 2020 and began as the Creative Intern at Anthem Entertainment while also completing an M.A. in Music Business from Berklee College Of Music.

The Bob Woodruff Foundation hosted the second annual Got Your 6 VetFest, a family-friendly event for the local veteran and service member community, at the Loveless Cafe and Barn in Nashville on July 15.

The evening’s live programming included special musical performances by Gretchen Wilson, Brian Kelley, The War and Treaty, Briston Maroney and Ashley Cooke. Longtime WKRN News anchor Bob Mueller received a surprise award, the Generous Persson Award, onstage during the event. Mueller, the winner of 10 Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award, was recognized for his tireless contribution to journalism and commitment to helping his community. The event also included rides, games, and a raffle for guitars signed by musical legends including Dolly Parton, Keith Urban, Reba and Amy Grant.

“The Bob Woodruff Foundation has spent years helping to educate people about the physical and hidden wounds of war. Today, most veterans and their families are thriving, and it’s great to see the progress we’ve made,” says Anne Marie Dougherty, CEO of the Bob Woodruff Foundation. “But some veterans still face real challenges—loss of income, food, housing insecurity, or social isolation. They need our help, and that’s why this Foundation exists: to support the men and women who made the commitment to stand for us. Our service members had our 6—our backs—as they say in the service. And we have theirs.”

The Bob Woodruff Foundation was founded in 2006 after reporter Bob Woodruff was wounded by a roadside bomb while covering the war in Iraq. Since then, the organization has raised awareness about the tough challenges veterans and military families face and invested over $120 million to ensure that our nation’s veterans, service members and their families have stable and successful futures.
